About	I was curious as to the meaning of the letters since it is seen often, this is what I found: The letters "INRI" are initials for the Latin title that Pontius Pilate had written over the head of Jesus Christ on the cross (John 19:19). Latin was the official language of the Roman Empire. The words were "Iesvs Nazarenvs Rex Ivdaeorvm." Latin uses "I" instead of the English "J", and "V" instead of "U" (i.e., Jesus Nazarenus Rex Judaeorum). The English translation is "Jesus of Nazareth, the King of the Jews." The Early Church adopted the first letters of each word of this inscription "INRI" as a symbol. Throughout the centuries INRI has appeared in many paintings of the crucifixion. By the way, Pilate's title for Christ was actually written in three languages. found at:http://www.christiananswers.net/q-eden/edn-t024.html

Beautiful image Alison, I love the colors.....and thanks for the info, something I always wondered and never knew, wonderful composition!

Dirck DuFlon {K:35779} 8/12/2005

Really nicely presented with the red wall - I see it's already been mentioned how appropriate the similarity to blood in the background is! Such a simple composition, but really quite powerful!

Eric Peterson {K:4419} 8/12/2005

Nice image and well written and accurate About. I find the red background reminds me of blood, which would be very appropriate for this subject on a number of different levels.

I really like the angle of this shot and how the cross is only slightly off center. Looking forward to my trip to CT!!!!

Looks like none of us knew what that meant, me included. I like the color streaks on the wall. Nice composition.
